thoughts on Movies

I haven't seen any of the major films this year. So no comment on practically anything. Don't know who was sadly cut out or wrongfully put in. By the end of the month, when most films have come to theaters, Ill have a better say on the matter.

thoughts on TV

The big losers this year are Game of Thrones, Parks & Rec, Mad Men and American Horror Story. Which comes to show that public appeal and critical acclaim will not play the tiniest factor in award shows.
